Abstract

Introduction: The problem of stunting, handling and prevention has become a global issue. Health problems against stunting have spread both through online and offline applications. However, the use of applications for stunting prevention efforts by increasing maternal knowledge has yet to be achieved, and some mothers' knowledge levels still need to be improved. Purpose: This study evaluates the use of the Prevention of Child Stunting Education Application (AECAS) to increase maternal knowledge in the Sijunjung Health Center Work Area, West Sumatra Province, Indonesia. Methods: A quasi-experiment with one group pre-test and post-test approach was used as the design of this study to measure participants' knowledge levels. They involved 31 participants, mothers whose children are stunted as an intervention group, who were given education about stunting prevention using the AECAS application available online. The AECAS application has passed the validity test. Data analysis used a paired T-test to test the significance level of pre-and post-test knowledge measurement. Results: 31 participants experienced increased knowledge from the sufficient category (mean score 54) to the good category (mean score 90). The statistical analysis results obtained the influence of participants' knowledge level before and after intervention with education on the use of AECAS applications (p-value = 0.001). They increased their knowledge score by 38. Conclusion: Using the AECAS application can increase mothers' knowledge about stunting and its prevention. Clinical nursing in the community can use the AECES application to increase knowledge, reduce the incidence of stunting and prevent stunting.
